Will LIRR and MNR both share track in GCT

Negative.

LIRR will have a separate ESA (East Side Access) terminal with no rail connection to GCT.

LIRR and MNR (and AMTK and NJT) will POSSIBLY - Elliot Sander has promised it, so it must be true! - share trackage at NYP (New York Penn Station).

The plan, as I have heard it, entails MNR M8s having a third rail shoe system which would be able to work both on MNR and on LIRR/AMTK. I don't know whether the efforts will actually turn out a successful product, or whether any MNR train will ever run to NYP in regular service.
